Pokémon Bubble Busters (Japanese: ポケモンとパズルボブル Pokémon and Puzzle Bobble) is a PC spin-off crossover between the Pokémon and Puzzle Bobble series of games, a first for the franchise. It was released in North America on February 2013.

Following a series of news regarding surprising announcements from both FurAffinity and the first issue of Super Jump Punch magazine in 2013, the game was revealed on December 17, 2012, at the FurAffinity site event itself, with the official site launching soon after.

The game takes place in a new region called Rainboroadia. Various Pokémon from all five generations appear in this game.

Completion of the single player game gives the player a code which can be entered to unlock 'Super Mode' for the single player game, which features subtle changes to the existing levels to increase their difficulty. The various characters and enemies from Bubble Bobble also make an appearance in the background.
